Microelectronic Engineering

Special issue on "Nano and Giga Challenges in Microelectronics"

This call for papers is an endeavor of the editorial teams of the Microelectronic Engineering journal and the Organizers of the 2nd Symposium and Summer School on Nano & Giga Challenges in Microelectronics (Krakow, Poland, September 13-17, 2004).

The aim of Microelectronic Engineering is to bring together in one publication the results of international work in the rapidly expanding field of integrated microelectronic. Microelectronic Engineering is an archival, peer-reviewed journal. It publishes full research papers, short communications, and review articles. The scope of this Journal includes materials, methods and designs for microfabrication, processing and inspection for microelectronic and nanoelectronic elements.

The organizers of Nano & Giga Forums intend to provide a creative environment for researchers, managers, students and everyone else involved in the exciting and expanding world of nanoscience and nanotechnology and its “electronic department” in particular. The essential enabler of the future information society -- electronics -- is at the threshold of a new phase, requiring radical innovations in materials and processing. The future generations of technology will only be possible when significant progress in physics, chemistry, material sciences, and other related disciplines, is achieved. Following the first successful Summer School and Symposium in Moscow (NGCM2002), the second biennial meeting is held in Cracow, Poland in 2004 hosted by Jagiellonian University and FQS Poland (Fujitsu group).
